ºÚÁÏÉç

The work of surgeons at ºÚÁÏÉç small animal referrals is assisted by the Brainsight neuronavigation system. We were the first veterinary centre in the UK to have the 3-dimension stereotactic brain biopsy device.   

Brainsight allows clinicians a high level of precision when performing biopsies and also to plan and undertake surgery. This means our neurosurgeons can perform brain surgery on cats and dogs to remove tumours that would have previously been inoperable due to their deep location.

Increasing safety and survival rates   

By accurately targeting located masses using the system we reduce the risk of secondary damage to the brain and significantly increase the survival rates and clinical outcomes for brain tumour patients. 

Brainsight helped ºÚÁÏÉç clinicians at ºÚÁÏÉç Small Animal Referrals be the first in the UK to perform a hypophysectomy to treat a cat with acromegaly.
